“Strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the global partnership for sustainable development.”
Why SDG 17 Matters in India
No single government, organization, or community can achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) alone. SDG 17 emphasizes collaboration across sectors and borders to mobilize resources, share knowledge, build capacity, and implement inclusive policies. For India, being home to 17.7% of the world’s population, partnerships — domestic and international — are vital to scale innovations, address financing gaps, and ensure sustainable development reaches the last mile.
